Helen can find what she sets her heart to finding, in this case it's the teenage boy Simon McAllister, traveling all the way to Scotland is nothing compared to traveling back in time and finding Simon, in a kilt, sporting a giant sword, and yes in his thirties.
Traveling back to her time Simon tags along determined to find out why their paths crossed, being a druid he knows nothing happens by chance, and the attraction he feels for her doesn't quite allow him to leave her, especially when her shady boss breaks into her apartment. There is something going on and he won't let Helen get hurt, even if it means sticking around in the time of noise, cars and electricity just a little while longer.
I so enjoyed this! As the forth book in the series, this one is a stand alone, but still gives readers a glimpse into the lives of the couples that came before. Now I haven't read the previous three books, but now I want to! Bybee writes so well, Highland Shifter is full of action, romance and time-travel! Not just one way ticket to the past but a real entertaining back and forth. Bybee creates worlds in an effortless way and there's so much going on you don't get bored reading it, there will be no skipping pages here!
The romance was starting with a flirty slow burn and developed into deeper emotions, sexual tension and lust before we get to the fire works! Simon I loved, a man of two worlds born in the present and living in sixteenth century, he had best of both worlds, the modern view but with the dominant sixteenth century vibe. Simply delicious. I liked Helen too, she had a lot of package to bring to a relationship, being an orphan and stepping into Simon's 20+ family. With her rejection issues she put the brakes on with Simon more than once, but that was so enjoyable to read!
I will definitely be looking into the earlier books in the series, I'm quite hooked now... especially after reading the last chapter, now I have to read Amber's story! What a cliffhanger!
I was trying to think of something to point out that I didn't like and well-- came up empty... this is a 5 Star read!

I have just started reading Katherine Bybee and I really enjoy her writing style. The characters are built well enough that I can picture them as I read. The dialogue is well written and the storyline is fun. I am Definately going to read the entire series.

I just finished Highland Shifter. This entire series was so good, I read all four books in five days! I couldn't bring myself to put my nook down; I just had to see what came next! The individual stories blended together so seamlessly that it seemed the next book picked up where the previous one left off. I found myself so captivated by the characters that they felt like friends and I cheered and cried along with them. Thank you Catherine for such a wonderful series and I anxiously await Amber's and Cian's stories. I hope to see them soon.

I loved her story line. But am upet a bit because I thought Amber's story was coming up. Guess I was wrong. I don't read a lot of werewolf, shapeshifters books. But this one was done in great taste. 5 STARS?

This is the 4th book in this series and I have to say it is every bit as good as the first 3. I cannot wait for the next one to come out and see what happens next...you'll know what I mean when you read this one :).

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I love the idea of time travel to any time in Scotland's past, but I have read other authors who have done this much better. This is the only Bybee title I have read, so that might be part of the reason I didn't like it as much as I might have, as this title isn't the first in the series, but even so it felt like getting back and forth from past to future was much too easy. And there was very little exploration of why the bads guys were bad guys...they needed to have more filled out personalities...more in-depth explanation of how they became who they are.
If you are looking for a beach read or something to skim on a rainy afternoon, this would be okay, but there are a lot better reads out there to spend your time with.
